December is almost over, which means that you need to make plans for your New Year’s celebration. Since you are interested in celebrating the end of New Year in Manhattan, you need to make your plans as soon as possible. Luckily, even though this is NYC’s smallest borough in terms of land area, it offers so many choices for this particular event. However, celebrating New Year’s Eve in Manhattan can be quite stressful as well. Especially if you do not prepare right. There are too many people, too many choices, and overall stress caused by the need to do something special on this day. For this reason, after you settle in your new Manhattan apartment with Manhattan Movers NYC, check out the best ways to celebrate the biggest night in Manhattan.
A private and small party for your friends and family
If you want to avoid the craziness of New Year’s Eve on the street, you can celebrate it with your friends and family. It can be at your house or your hotel. Since going out is pretty expensive, if you want to save some money, you can choose to host a dinner party. You can tell your guests to bring over some type of dish, drinks, or even dessert. If you have recently moved to Manhattan, this is also a perfect opportunity to meet your new neighbors. You can even do it instead of a traditional housewarming party if you moved in recently.
Rent a room in one of the Manhattan hotels if your new home isn’t ready yet
In addition to this, if commercial movers NYC are still busy delivering your things to your home office, you can always go to a hotel or even rent an Airbnb for this occasion. The best hotels would include the following, the Knickerbocker Hotel, Hilton Garden Inn Times Square, the Marriott Marquee, Renaissance Hotel Times Square, and many others. Mind you, all of these hotels may already be booked. For this reason, make sure to contact them today to check if they have any available rooms.
Celebrating New Year’s Eve in Manhattan with fireworks on the rooftops
If you are moving to Manhattan during December, you should also include New Year’s celebration expenses when calculating your Manhattan moving expenses. One of the best ways to celebrate this holiday in Manhattan would be on the rooftop. Luckily, Manhattan has some of the biggest skyscrapers in the world. So you won’t have any problems finding one for yourself. Therefore, you should check out Le Bain at The Standard, the Press Room, The Magic Hour Rooftop, etc.
If you are spending your night on the rooftop, you will have the best view of the fireworks. There are four breathtaking fireworks in NYC. These include Times Square Fireworks, Central Park’s fireworks, the New York Harbor fireworks, and Prospect Park fireworks. Depending on your location, you will see at least one of them.
Hotels with the best Times Square Ball Drop view
Now, we already suggested that you can rent a room in a hotel. Especially if your moving company Manhattan will deliver your items to your new home just before New Year’s Eve. Bear in mind though, that celebrating New Year’s Eve in a Manhattan hotel is by no means a substitute for a real celebration. Actually, celebrating New Year’s Eve in one of Manhattan’s hotels is a tradition for many. And many of these hotels organize some of the best parties for this special event. Moreover, many hotels offer a spectacular view of the famous Times Square Ball Drop.
If you do not want to squeeze with thousands of people in Times Square to see this, the best thing you can do is to book a place for yourself in one of Manhattan’s hotels. Here are the hotels that offer the best view of the Times Square Ball Drop:
- Margaritaville Resort Times Square
- M Social New York
- New York Marriott Marquis
- The Pearl Hotel
- The Knickerbocker
- Hilton Garden Inn Times Square Central
- Residence Inn New York Manhattan/Central Park
- Hyatt Centric Times Square
Bear in mind though that renting a room for New Year’s Eve in one of these hotels is by no means cheap. Moreover, renting a room does not guarantee access to the rooftop. Especially because these hotels organize private parties that you cannot attend unless you are on the guest list. So make sure that you check this before you book a room.
